Bonphotage - Chicago Engagement Photography - Rachel + Juan

There is something unique about being a wedding photographer that you don't find in any other profession. As a wedding photographer, you have the opportunity to meet people at a critical and life-changing time of their lives. Couples are trusting you to capture their once in a lifetime moments beautifully and it is a responsibility I don't take lightly.  This special relationship also lends itself to a trusting one, and often to the beginning of a lifelong relationship.

From my first meeting with Rachel, I knew she would be one of those special friends in life that I may have not have ever met had it not been for this fabulous job! Rachel and Juan have a beautiful and lasting love and I am truly honored to capture their wedding next summer!

Enjoy this engagement sneak peek! xo
